Congrats on your first day - you guys are off to a flying start!!!! I think

Sounds like you are doing everything right, but you know if you ever have a

question this is the place for answers!! :-)

>Judy --

My son Zack's been in the band for 5 weeks -- and now when he has it

off - he looks like he's missing something!

Once in a while his band does slip down by his eyes, but we just

shift it back up -- she'll get used to it!

Good luck - it sounds like you're off to a GREAT START!!!

Judy:

You're doing great!

Does anyone else worry that the band is obstructing the field of vision?

I wouldn't worry too much about it. She will adjust very quickly to what she can see, and how she gets to see it. Consider it a learning curve! )

Glad to hear everything is going so smoothly. Hooray!

Genna got her DOC band this morning. So far, so good! She doesn't notice it at all. In fact, she's down for her nap right now, with no fussing at all. Yay!After 3 hours, she had one small reddish spot in the front where her band has one of those outcroppings that they said some babies need to help keep it in place; it was pretty much faded after an hour but still there a little (not dark, just light pinkish). I went ahead and put the band back on for another 3 hours and will re-evaluate it then. I guess this is the right thing to do... someone tell me if it's not!!So, we are off and running! I'm relieved to finally be underway. I thought I might cry when I saw her in it, but I didn't. I think she actually looks really cute in it. I wasn't going to decorate it, but now I think I will at least put her name on it, and maybe a few jewel stickers, since everyone already knows she is Princess G! :)Does anyone else worry that the band is obstructing the field of vision? It's not overlapping her eyes or anything, but I'm pretty sure she can't see what's above her head without tilting her neck back. It doesn't seem to be bothering her; I was just wondering.Thanks for all your support!!Judy and Genevieve
